Saturday night at the Electric Ballroom, London didn’t just dance – it time-travelled. Straight back to the late ’90s and early 2000s, glow sticks optional, nostalgia absolutely mandatory. And leading the charge? Eiffel 65, the Italian Eurodance duo who proved that some tunes simply refuse to age.
When “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” kicked in, the crowd – overwhelmingly…
Last night at the Golden Goose Theatre in Oval, London audiences were treated to something quietly extraordinary. Seven and a Half Years is not just a one-man play – it is an act of courage, resilience and creative rebirth, delivered with honesty, humility and, above all, beautiful music.
Written and performed by London-based songwriter and composer Mark Glentworth, the show is deeply…
February is all too often considered an awkward ‘inbetweener’ of a month; the festive vibes are over, spring feels like a distant rumour, the weather can’t make up its mind and the days remain short and chilly. Not much fun.
In addition to this, the fact that a school holiday falls in February is even more awkward. If you’re not going for a ski in the Alps, what are you supposed…
If there was ever a reason to leave the house with the kids, this is it. Picture this: a 300-metre-long tiramisù, a historic London venue, Italian flair, families queuing not for a rollercoaster but for a slice of a Guinness World Record, and every forkful supporting charity. Yes, really. On what is often dubbed the unhappiest day of the year, we gathered at the Italian Cultural Institute in…
Akram Khan’s reimagining of Giselle, performed by the English National Ballet at the London Coliseum from 15–18 January 2026 (sold out), is not simply a ballet revival – it is an emotional reckoning. Intense, visceral and visually arresting, this production grips you from the first moment and refuses to loosen its hold.
From the rise of the curtain, the physicality of the dancers…
Some nights are pleasant. Others make you grin all the way home. This one? Properly electric. I went to Emerald London with my friend Francesca for the launch of a new weekly residency celebrating the music of Van Morrison, fully expecting a smooth, soulful evening. What we didn’t expect was to walk out agreeing – slightly shocked – that we’d enjoyed this even more than seeing…
London Mums Magazine was excited to go along to Operation Ouch! Quest for the Jurassic Fart! at the Royal Festival Hall (Tue 30 Dec 2025 – Fri 2 Jan 2026) – although admittedly and probably in hindsight mistakably we had never seen the tv show Operation Ouch! on CBBC.
The stage show sees TV’s favourite doctor twins, Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken, take audiences on a…
There is a particular moment, somewhere between Christmas leftovers and the first school shoe hunt of January, when London reveals its true personality. Slightly unhinged. Deeply charming. Exhausted, but still determined to put on a show.
New Year in London is not neat or minimal. It does not whisper fresh starts. It clangs, sparkles, queues politely, complains loudly – and then delivers…
The 1885 Singers are Putney’s choir, all volunteers, all local and all talented. A musical hotbed in our tiny parish of 3.52 square miles – and that goes for the orchestral ensemble too. There’s something beautiful about walking into a concert space knowing three of the singers and bumping into three others in the audience. Community spirit warmed up All Saints Church by the…
Every year I tell myself the same thing: This time I’m going to be calm, reasonable, and not get swept away by the glittery madness of Winter Wonderland. And every year – without fail -I’m proven to be a delusional optimist. Because as soon as you step into Hyde Park between 14 November 2025 and 1 January 2026, all common sense evaporates like steam off a mulled wine vat. And it’s…
